Mourning After is an epic, fierce, and darkly funny theatrical experience written by Sharon Stearns, featuring original live music by the Dream Heavy Band.

Chris Gaskin - Old and New
Want to know what the comedy experience of the year in Prince George will be? Look no further than Chris Gaskin: Old and New, two completely different shows headlined by one of Canada’s best comedians. How is he one of Canada’s best comedians you ask? He’s been featured on the likes of Just For Laughs, SiriusXM, and CBC, and has worked with brands like BMW, Porsche, and Yuk Yuk’s. As if that isn’t enough, four local feature acts have been hand chosen as the best comedians Prince George has to offer. Like a small comedy festival, this will be an event you won’t want to miss.
Night 1: Past Favourites
The house lights dim and the stage lights shine as Chris delves into his comedic past. Over fifteen years of material to choose from, and Chris will choose only the best. Past Favourites is a show built around Chris’ favourite jokes from “Lambda Male” and “Working With The Negatives.”
Featuring: Mike McGuire and Sara Jones
Night 2: The New Act
It’s been 6 years since Chris has recorded any of his latest material. Touring it across western Canada, and building his latest hour to rave reviews, you get to see The New Act in its’ best form. Raw, unapologetic, and just downright funny, you’ll be laughing from beginning to end.
Featuring: Kylie Lewis Holt and Brian Majore

A Night at the Opera: Jonelle Sills with Tina Chang
Recently named one of York University’s Top 30 Alumni Under 30 and featured by CBC Music as one of Canada’s top classical musicians under 30, Jonelle Sills is one of the most exciting emerging sopranos in the country. She made a stunning debut as Mimi in La Bohème with the Canadian Opera Company, earning praise from The Globe and Mail as a “beautifully sensitive Mimi with careful control and colour.”
Now, Prince George audiences have a rare opportunity to experience her powerful voice and artistry up close, right here at the Playhouse.
An active musician in Vancouver, Tina Chang has performed across Canada, the US, and Europe.
